Answer:
The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).
From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.
D = 1/p
Distance = 1/(parallax angle)
Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.
Explanation:
Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.
The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:
D = 1/p
Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
2m/s because the hockey puck is traveling at a constant speed ( acceleration is 0 ). Unless something acts on the hockey puck it will travel 2 m/s forever.
Answer:
a battery, wires, and a switch.
Explanation:
All circuits include?
Synodic month, also known as a lunar month.
Answer:
(a) 89 m/s
(b) 11000 N
Explanation:
Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.
(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.
(b) The tension, 
, is given by
where 
is the speed, is the tension and 
is the mass per unit length.
Hence,
To determine , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:
where 
is the mass and 
is the volume.
If the length is denoted by 
, then
The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3
The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is
